Crocodile Creek 100-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle for Kids Ages 5 and Up - Fun and Educational Table or Floor Puzzles - Storage Canister with Handle - Sharks - 14” x 19” Finished

Update - the company noted that they had a new production run of the product. The newer version was much higher quality and typical for what I expect from Crocodile Creek puzzles! We really like their canister puzzles, we have several and they have been very durable (and VERY beautiful!) 3.5 year old needed help, now that is almost 5 years he can do a lot of these puzzles on his own but needs help in the trickier part. ==================== This is a really lovely puzzle from an aesthetic sense. However, some of the pieces were bent even right out of the box. This makes me concerned that this puzzle may not live up to repeated wear and tear from young children! I'm disappointed. Initially, I wasn't planning to return. However, I just compared it to two other "Crocodile Creek Thirty-Six" puzzles that I was planning to save for future use. There is a clear difference in quality. (I compared it to Wild Animal and the Sharks puzzles that both come in similar canisters). Neither of those puzzles seemed as flimsy, and there were no significantly bent pieces coming right out the box. To be fair, it is NOT as if this ocean puzzle is **completely flimsy**. The quality is just... decent. I feel like the price would be more in line with "high end puzzle" that is thicker and of stronger quality (ie: like a Ravensburger puzzle or Melissa and Doug floor puzzle). For perspective - I'm going to guess it was at least four pieces that were a least slightly bent to the degree that I had to apply pressure and straighten them again. Two of them were just on the edges protruding out from the puzzle piece center, but two were bent in the "body" of the puzzle piece.

These puzzles are so beautiful. The different colors and unique bigger pieces make it doable for younger kids. My 3 and 5 year old enjoy the puzzle and have finished it multiple times and still aren't tired of it. They do take breaks, they can't finish it in one sitting. So fun that it comes with a paper that tells you each bird's name. Can research more about your child's favorite bird and turn it into a school lesson if you wanted. Anyway, get the puzzle, you shouldn't be disappointed.

We are a puzzle loving family and although I don’t see them often, whenever I do see a Crocodile Creek puzzle in the stores I grab it because I know it’s going to be great quality. This shark puzzle is another great one to add to our collection. The pieces are not flimsy and there are many unique shapes. My kids loved the accompanying puzzle poster with the names of all the sharks! I hope Crocodile Creek keeps making puzzles for years to come because I’ll be here to buy them :)

We love Crocodile Creek puzzles at our house. My four-year-old has loved puzzles since he was 1.5, so we buy a lot of them. CC Puzzles are durable, bright, fun, and frustration-free (no poorly cut pieces). The size of the pieces is great for younger kids, and the difficulty is just right to keep him engaged without giving up.

We love Crocodile Creek puzzles for our 4 year old! The pieces are sturdy and the designs are fantastic! We added to our collection and just received “Jungle Paradise” today…it’s my favorite so far!!! Quality is one of the best!

Excellent, informative, educational puzzle.

good value for the price

better container than a box

Precioso y muy buen puzzle. Le gusto mucho a la niña que se lo regale

El puzzle és muy bonito u de buena calidad. La forma cilíndrica del puzzle hace q no siempre sea fácil De guardar en la estantería de juguetes. La tapadera hay q cerrarla con cuidado perquè al ser de cartón si los niños presionan se achafa. Pero a parte del packaging el puzzle es muy bonito. Trae un dibujo del puzzle con los mombres de todos los animales marinos.

The puzzle is made of high quality material with a glossy colour paper for the front end. It should last for a while and the puzzle pieces are of a decent size, so no worries of losing any of them. Finally, the children learnt a lot about various fish and other sea creatures, the puzzle being a trigger for the same.

We bought a puzzle from crocodile creek a few years ago and it was excellent... this one though is terrible quality, thinner cardboard and the image is peeling away from the base after one go at it.

Esta marca es muy buena, tiene rompecabezas muy bonitos. Mi hijo de 6 se entretiene mucho armándolos. La calidad es buena, las piezas encajan bien y son resistentes, incluso la caja está muy buena
